Re: cityscape

Every time a see an image like this of Central Park, something asks that I go there one day. Seems odd, when I live in a country with an abundance of parks and trees, but it's something about the island of green inside a ring fence of skyscrapers that does this.

It's amazing how many cities have a structure like the one you posted. I know of at least four cities with a tower such as that. If that were my architectural design, I would be expecting royal royalties.

I think you would enjoy the movie 'Troll in Central Park' Kit....dear wee chap gets sent as a punishment to the city where nothing grows, except when they throw him out in NY - he lands in Central Park

You are dead right, John. There is a similar tower in Sydney, also. One of the first, I think, but as Aucklanders love to tell us Aussies - theirs is taller.
